Now just because the NFL makes money from HBO for they show if no team volunteers to be on it the NFL will pick a team for the show. Are we sure the government is not running the NFL?

The entire NFL is basically comprised of teams with new coaches or teams that have made the playoffs two years in a row.

As the HBO Hard Knocks film crew pulls into the Gillette Stadium parking lot a security guard directs them to their facilities. Pointing to a Porti-Potty he states, “there is your office and bathroom and over by the woods on the outskirts of the property is a 10′ by 10′ picnic tent for your equipment. Coach Belichick has graciously allowed you 30 sec. of access to the teams locker room once a week. Enjoy!

In fact, I clearly remember all the boos and negative comments last year about my Dolphins. Well, guess what? You are all anonymous liars because it was the Series’ all time ratings leader. Go figure. I am not saying you folks are secret Miami fans, but at the time everyone ” loved the Trainwreck” and that sells. Case Closed.

Tue, 08 Oct 2013 19:09:56 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2215869#comment-2851698The team with the worst record has to be on hard knocks the next season. At the end of the season, fans complain that teams “lose on purpose” to get a higher draft position. The penalty for being the worst team, even with a new coach, is to be the team under the microscope.

The only other fair outcomes would be a team picking in the top 5 (as teams that try to tank the games), or to just put all 32 teams into a rotation for decades to come.

Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:43:58 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2215869#comment-2851590It’s about time. Now they just need a rule that every team needs to be open to the cameras in the offseason. Scary proposition for all the genius football minds that have so much confidence in themselves that they fear losing their job when people can get a close look at what they are doing. It’s time to separate the chumps from the champs and showcase the best professional competitors in a more intimate setting. As well as to force accountability with added pressure for the posers.

I will subscribe to HBO for the rest of my life if they can somehow film the moment Robert Kraft has to tell Bill Belichick that his camp will be filmed for the world to see.

Guess you missed the part where it said that teams that made the playoffs two years in a row had the right to decline.

Amazing how much of a bully the NFL became after getting the players on the hook for 10 years in the last CBA.

With that CBA in place (for so long), the players lost their last iota of leverage.

The good news for fans is we avert labor strikes – but there are some clear downsides too.
——
Yeah, the league’s decision to make a front office and coaching staff be on Hard Knocks against their will sure is a huge blow to player leverage…

I can see how this story relates to the CBA…

The continuation of Hard Knocks is clearly—CLEARLY—a negative consequence of the labor agreement, one that us fans will just have to tolerate…

…No, no, and no. Just no. Just stop. No.

Only caveat, is that Schiano will have to be named producer, have final cut, and be advised hourly of the craft services Noodle Bar details.

So freakin sad to be a Bucs fan right now.

Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:07:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2215869#comment-2851459It’s bound to happen where no one wants to do the show, the NFL should take it one step further and tie hosting the show to a specific outcome that way no one can complain – ie. the loser of the superbowl, or say, whoever has the 10th pick in the draft. To prevent the same team hosting 2 years in a row/new coach/etc, then default to whoever lost to the losing superbowl team in the AFC/NFC championship or draft pick 9… you catch my point. This isn’t rocket science and instead of directing a team based on Roger’s arbitrary preference, make it mandatory based on some fixed outcome

Thursday night football is awful, and now they’re gonna force a team to do a TV show during their training camp. I guess since teams are only allowed to have like 8 full pads practices the whole offseason they should have more time to film the show, but it’s not making the football any better.
